thats exactly what happened.
Its ok. Guna sand back leaving the darker grain now, and just go in with the red. This stuff sands back quite well compared to other stains ive used before.

It looks more orange than it does in person haha.
Its defo a dark red. Going to do 1 more coat maybe tomorrow and possibly the lightest coat over the top of orange to add some light brownish tones and I have some tiny black areas to touch up on the top.
Then its sit for a few days and start the Finishing oil. I have the wet dry 1200 needed to lightly sand it as you apply each layer too.
Then after xmas I can start accumulating the hardware (all hipshot)

some cool striping /\
Got some touch ups and more black to do as I want it darker and more uniform on the top. Then I can ebonize the fretboard and sort out the Finishing Oil

Already got its first battle dents haha.
Whoops. Fell of its hanger whilst drying. Ah well, its going to be played alot anyway when done so im not that bothered.
Its looking nice though
when I have enough layers built up, I will sand/blend that decal back using 1500 wet/dry.
haha war wounds /\
Ebonizing was a success!

thanks dude!
not guna lie. Im proper impressed with this Crimson Guitar stuff. The finishing oil is super easy to apply too.
This is going to be killer when the hardware is on it. So much more interesting and higher spec'd than how it came to me originally.
